What You Get
Replacing concrete is a demolition job first. We break out the old slab in manageable sections, haul it to a recycler, and protect the property with plywood and mats so the excavator and dump trailer do not leave ruts in your yard or your neighbor's.
Once the old concrete is out, we look at why it failed. Almost always it is the base: poured on uncompacted clay, no stone, no drainage. We cut to proper depth and compact a stone base before anything new goes down. Replacing a slab on the same bad base just resets the clock.
We also handle demo-only jobs: removing a slab, old pool deck, or foundation pad you want gone, graded and seeded afterward.
Our Removal Spec
Saw-cut edges, break-out with a skid steer on mats, haul-away to a licensed recycler, subgrade cut to depth and re-compacted before any new base goes down.
Every number is on the How We Pour page with the reasons behind it, and on the one-page PDF you can hand to any other contractor you are comparing.
